iTunes Review

Taking their lessons from the Stones and Aerosmith, Appetite for Destruction produced a howling tumult in praise of their vices ("Mr. Brownstone," "Nightrain") and ready to push the world back a step or two ("Welcome to the Jungle").

Guns N' Roses Fan 15

I'm new to liking Guns N' Roses. After hearing Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City, I liked what I was hearing, so I decided to buy one of their albums. Buying Appetite for Destruction is one of the smartest things I've ever done. THIS IS THE BEST CD EVER RECORDED BY ANYONE EVER. I could listen to every single song on this cd about a billion times and love it even more every time. BUY IT NOW

This Album Rocks from Start to finish!

At a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynistic, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O' Mine," showed. While Slash and Izzy Stradlin ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the Stones, Axl Rose screeched out his tales of...
